What to expect on campus during COVID-19

To support the health, safety and well-being of our Georgian community, everyone is encouraged to self-screen before coming to campus.

If you’re not feeling well for any reason, please stay home and do not come to campus. Use the provincial self-assessment tool and follow the guidance provided. 

If you can’t attend campus, please refer to Georgian’s COVID-19 Reporting Protocol. Students are expected to contact their professor(s)/instructor(s), and employees are expected to contact their manager if they can’t attend campus.

When on campus, please wash your hands thoroughly and often.

Questions?

All questions regarding safety protocols shall be directed to Campus Safety Services at ohs@georgiancollege.ca or 705.722.1586.

Please note, safety protocols are subject to change based on public health and government guidelines.

Face masks strongly recommended on campus

Information last updated on Nov. 14, 2022.

Dr. Kieran Moore, Ontario Chief Medical Officer of Health, strongly recommends the use of face masks while indoors to help protect the most vulnerable, particularly young children and those at risk of infection and to help alleviate the growing pressure on the health care system.

Everyone is encouraged to wear a mask if they wish to do so and to stay home if you’re unwell. Georgian College will continue to monitor the situation and follow the guidance provided by our local public health authorities.

Anyone who wishes to wear a mask on campus will have their choice respected.

Effective April 23, 2022, Georgian has rescinded the Mandatory COVID-19 Vaccination Procedure.

Vaccination is still strongly encouraged for all Georgian students and employees, but proof is no longer required to enter campus.

Students going on a work-integrated learning placement (e.g. co-op, field, clinical) are expected to adhere to any vaccination procedure implemented by the placement host or employer.

Information for those looking to get vaccinated
